I think option 2 would be best, when combined with a prototype entry
for it as well.
The whole point of classutils, is to remove postinstall scripts, so
having them trigger one rather goes against the grain :)
Class action scripts should, in my opinion, be very VERY resilient, so
the conditional  mkdir sounds like an exellent safety measure.
